Mountain Dew promo is live

[TheMightyMollusk]

So the in-game items are locked until early access, but are the physical items available now? Do those come straight from Pepsico or from the Mog Station?

I wonder what the limited edition pc in the promo clip is? It's not on the points page, but they do have some gaming vault thing that seems to promote the rarer items within a much smaller time window. Given the points cost for the higher end items, the daily limit of 15 code entries and the next gaming vault window you would have to be opening and submitting the maximum number of 200 point bottles for 12 days straight just to reach the currently listed top points redemption. A pc would likely have a much greater cost. That's drinking 2.34 gallons of dew a day if you're not wasting it (those big jugs of milk at the grocer are just 1 gallon).

edit: If you started right now you wouldn't even make that first window which is May 20 – May 27. You can only submit between 1500 to 3000 points a day according to the T&C limits (15 max per day and each bottle is either 100 or 200 points). The second and final window within the FFXIV promotion period is June 17 – June 24, which would give a slightly more relaxed time span depending on the point cost if we even get a preview of that.

Everything should be available now while supplies last. Even the codes get distributed now, it's just FFXIV's side of things that isn't ready to accept the code yet. The terms and conditions do state it can take up to 10-12 weeks after redemption to ship out though.

Whaat, region locked events in an MMO game?? What year is it? 2001???? What next? PAL and NTSC copies of the game?

[Fawkes]

That is for Mountain Dew Gaming giving out codes and selling prizes in general. Not specifically for the FFXIV event. The FFXIV part ends in July

Correct, the FFXIV collaboration ends on July 14th.

According to Big Sippin on the Mountain Dew Gaming twitter it goes until January.

They should go with another company half the Mountain dew codes don't even work and says invalid. Only 4 out of 10 codes worked from Mountain Dew 20oz bottles bought today. Then they ban you from too many failed entries. They should just add all the items to Mog Station instead. Surprised Mountain Dew hasn't got in trouble yet for giving out bad codes.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to buy some MD for me so I can get the mount? I have a US account, but I live in Europe. I will pay in advance for the codes.

Anyone else experiencing being banned? I've never participated in something like this, my husband either, and we're both getting "Access Denied."

If your IP address is showing you as being outside the US, their site may be set to block you from participating.

[Batilla]

Anyone Know if the rules just require you to live in the US or if they also require your Character to be on the US servers?

[Anienai]

The mount was a lot cheaper than I thought it was going to be. Haha, oops.
I don't even drink this stuff.

That's a lot of uptime.
